Creating a menu

For the creation of a menu, call the creation method from Menu facade. The first parameter is the name of the menu and the second parameter is the callback to define the menu items.

Menu::create('test',function($menu){
    $menu->link('home/1','Home',['icon'=>'icon-home']);
});

Make Multiple Menus

If you want to create multiple menus

Menu::create('test1',function($menu){
    $menu->link('home/1','Home',['icon'=>'icon-home']);
});

Menu::create('test2',function($menu){
    $menu->link('user','user');
});

Menu items

Menu Link

To create a link menu item use $menu->link()

Menu::create('test',function($menu){
    //           'url'   'title'     'attributes'
    $menu->link('home/1','Home',['icon'=>'icon-home']);
});

Menu Route

If you have a rute element defined with your name, use $menu->route()

Menu::create('test',function($menu){
    //           'name rute'  'title'  'route parameters'    'attributes'
    $menu->route('cars.show', 'Cars', ['name'=>'toyota'], ['icon'=>'icon-car']);
});

Menu Dropdown

to create a dropdown menu item use $menu->dropdown()

Menu::create('test',function($menu){
    //             'title'    'attributes'          'callback '
    $menu->dropdown('test',['icon'=>'icon-test'], function($item){
            $item->link('/test','test1',['icon'=>'fa-fa-icon']);
            $item->link('/test','test2',['icon'=>'fa-fa-icon']);
            $item->link('/test','test3');
    });
});

Menu Dropdown Multi Level

To create a drop-down menu within another drop-down menu use $item->dropdown()

Menu::create('test',function($menu){
    //             'title'    'attributes'          'callback '
    $menu->dropdown('test',['icon'=>'icon-test'], function($item){
            $item->link('/test','test1');
            
            $item->dropdown('test',['icon'=>'icon-test'], function($item){
                $item->link('/test','test2');
            });
    });
});

Order Menu Items

You can sort the menu items in two ways, by the order number or alphabetically.

By default in the configuration file the ordering is deactivated, you can activate it directly in the configuration file or use the method $menu->activeOrder().

Menu::create('test',function($menu){
    $menu->activeOrder();
});

To set the value of the order call the method ->order().

Menu::create('test',function($menu){
    $menu->activeOrder(); //active order
    $menu->link('home/1','Home',['icon'=>'icon-home'])->order(1);
    $menu->link('contact','Contact',['icon'=>'icon-contact'])->order(3);
    $menu->link('pages','Pages',)->order(2);
});

To order alphabetically use the method $menu->setOrderBy($type).

Menu::create('test',function($menu){
    $menu->activeOrder();// active order
    $menu->setOrderBy('title'); // 'title' or 'number'
});

By default, the orden function is disabled. You can enable the order function in your configuration file.

return [
	'ordered' => true
];

And the type of order, by default is order by number.

return [
	'orderBy' => 'title'
];

Rendering menu

To render the menu you can use show or get method.

Menu::get('test');

Menu::show('test');

Edit menu

To edit a menu already created use the edit method of the facade Menu.

Menu::edit('test',function($menu){
    $menu->link('home/1','Home',['icon'=>'icon-home']); // add link item
});

To edit an item in a menu.

Menu::edit('test',function($menu){
    //            'search parameter'   'name'
    $menuItem = $menu->edit('title', 'test');
    $menuItem->title = 'hola';
});

To edit elements of a dropdown.

Menu::edit('test',function($menu){
    //            'search parameter'   'name'
    $menuItem = $menu->edit('title', 'test'); //dropdown item
    $menuItem->link('/test2','testt2',['icon'=>'fa-fa-icon']); //add dropdown item
    //                   'search parameter'   'name'
    $subMenuItem = $menuItem->edit('title', 'test1'); //edit dorpdown item
    $subMenuItem->title = 'test3';
});
